Set in June 1953, 'Moon Over Buffalo', Ludwig's raucous farce, captures the rich pandemonium in a small theater company's attempt to stage a show and adds merciless complications for heightened comedic effect. The play focuses on a second-rate, dysfunctional theater troupe led by George and Charlotte Hay, two seasoned hams with dreams of glory. Fate has given them one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Unfortunately, Capra's timing couldn't be worse and they are forced to deal with jealousies, mistaken identities, drunkenness and hilarious misunderstandings. However, they make every effort to salvage their production and stay true to that old stage mantra: The show must go on.

Originally opening on Broadway in 1995, the play is known for bringing Carol Burnett back to live theater after 30 years and earning her a Tony Award nomination for best actress.
